Museo Picasso Málaga Podcasts

Listen to the podcast of the exhibition “Joana Vasconcelos. Transfiguration” at Museo Picasso Málaga (29 May – 27 September 2026).

A sound essay built around a central question: how something everyday, popular, or intimate can change its state without ceasing to be recognisable. From this notion of transfiguration, the episode explores three key vectors in Vasconcelos’s work as presented in this exhibition: the shift from the domestic to the monumental, the transformation of collective symbols into contemporary imagery, and the conversion of the domestic interior into a spatial experience.

Un ensayo sonoro que parte de una pregunta central: cómo algo cotidiano, popular o íntimo puede cambiar de estado sin dejar de ser reconocible. Desde esa idea de transfiguración, el episodio recorre tres vectores fundamentales de la obra de Vasconcelos presentes en esta exposición: el paso de lo doméstico a lo monumental, la transformación de símbolos colectivos en imágenes contemporáneas y la conversion del interior doméstico en experiencia espacial.

June 1940. Nazi troops enter Paris, and war finally reaches Picasso’s place of refuge in Royan. Faced with occupation, the artist confronts the difficult decision of whether to stay or to leave. In this episode, we follow the final months of his stay in the coastal town, exploring how uncertainty and fear permeate his work and his daily life.

A podcast by the Museo Picasso Málaga, produced in conjunction with the exhibition “Picasso: The Royan Sketchbooks” (31 January – 30 April 2025).

The winter of 1939 finds Picasso sheltered in Royan, surrounded by a close circle amid the uncertainty of war. Between sketches and poems, the artist grapples with the anguish of the conflict and the uncertainty of what lies ahead. In this episode, we explore how art becomes both a refuge and an act of resistance in the face of devastation.

In August 1939, the world stands on the brink of war, and Picasso feels the full weight of uncertainty. As Paris ceases to be a place of celebration, the artist seeks refuge in the quiet town of Royan, carrying with him both his creativity and his fear. In this first episode, we explore how political tension, exile, and art intertwine in Picasso’s life, giving rise to the drawings in his sketchbooks—silent witnesses to a dark and turbulent time.

The return to Málaga, 60 years later, of photographer Joel Meyerowitz.

Welcome to “Photographer on journey”, the podcast of the exhibition “Joel Meyerowitz. Europe 1966–1967”, presented at the Museo Picasso Málaga from 15 June to 15 December 2024.

Paris, 1967. A year before May ’68, the revolution is not yet visible—but absurdity is, and Meyerowitz is drawn to what looks strange in plain sight. From a commercial shoot near Montmartre to a café terrace perched beside street works, the camera records the everyday as a collage of contradictions. Then the journey closes: Naples, a ship, and a final photograph—an old man releasing confetti into the wind. Credits: An original Museo Picasso Málaga production.

The return to Málaga, 60 years later, of photographer Joel Meyerowitz.

Welcome to “Photographer on journey”, the podcast of the exhibition “Joel Meyerowitz. Europe 1966–1967”, presented at the Museo Picasso Málaga from 15 June to 15 December 2024.

Meyerowitz spends six of his twelve European months in Málaga, drawn into the world of the Escalona family, Romani flamenco musicians who turn cante into lived narrative. Recordings, rehearsals, neighbours coming and going, laughter in a modest room: the camera captures a shared atmosphere, not a staged scene. Flamenco becomes both subject and method—an art of rhythm, transmission, and collective memory.

The return to Málaga, 60 years later, of photographer Joel Meyerowitz.

Welcome to “Photographer on journey”, the podcast of the exhibition “Joel Meyerowitz. Europe 1966–1967”, presented at the Museo Picasso Málaga from 15 June to 15 December 2024.

Late 1966. Málaga is opening to international tourism, and the contrasts of the Costa del Sol—modernisation alongside hardship—become the raw material of Meyerowitz’s new photographic language. On these streets, he stops chasing a single “moment” and begins to photograph complexity: overlapping actions, competing focal points, and the ambiguity that gives an image its charge.

The return to Málaga, 60 years later, of photographer Joel Meyerowitz.

Welcome to “Photographer on journey”, the podcast of the exhibition “Joel Meyerowitz. Europe 1966–1967”, presented at the Museo Picasso Málaga from 15 June to 15 December 2024.

Joel Meyerowitz is twenty-eight when he leaves New York in August 1966 and arrives in London at the height of Swinging London. From there, he moves on to Ireland, where a fleeting street scene—colour, gestures, glances—reveals why he is drawn to what cannot be posed. The trip is only just beginning, but a question already hangs in the air: what will he find in Málaga that will make him stay for six months?

Este nuevo estreno del podcast del Museo Picasso Málaga está inspirado en la exposicion "Elena Asins. Antígona" [30 de enero - 3 de mayo de 2026], inaugurada en el décimo aniversario de la muerte de la artista pionera del arte asistido por ordenador.

Un episodio único que entrecruza la tragedia Antígona de Sófocles con la obra final de Asins. La narración recorre la escultura que convierte el nombre de la heroína 'Antígona' en cuerpo de acero sobre el suelo, y el vídeo dedicado a 'Hemón', como eco del conflicto entre ley, familia y diálogo. A partir de citas de la tragedia, ideas de Asins sobre el entierro como comienzo de la trascendencia, y un paisaje sonoro que evoca tanto la tragedia griega como la música de Schubert, el episodio propone al oyente pensar el arte como ritual de memoria: un lugar donde lo que ya no tiene cuerpo sigue existiendo a través de un nombre, una estructura y una decisión ética que no se deja borrar.
